일본의 대학-지역사회 파트너쉽과 도시 재활성화

Abstract

This study examines the university-community partnerships which are aimed to promote urban regeneration in Japan. As civil society has been organized and various civil activities are being spreading out, the activities of non-profit organization have derived public interests in the participation of public development. This induces the changes of partnerships between public and private, deriving an increase of various actors in the partnership. The university-community partnerships are formed by active partner relationships between local universities and communities. In this partnership, the professionals of universities clearly contribute on the solution of problems in local communities. And the local governments provide a base for this partnership with supporting and complementing the activities of NPO and corporations, including the provision of budgets for public services. Two patterns are occurred in the university-community partnerships of Japan. One is lead by university and the other is lead by local government, even though the latter is more commonly occurred in this partnership. Also, the university-community partnerships are specified into three patterns such as multilateral partnership, multi-to-one partnership, and one-to-one partnership, even though the one-to-one partnership is common.
